The Wedding Photo Album

It seems that these days, with the onslaught of technology,
photography has taken on a whole different meaning. Don't get me wrong,
I love the digital photography age, it's quick, easy and cheap when
compared to the days of film, but it does have a rather sinister side to
it, one that undervalues the true meaning of a photograph.

The much loved photograph

Let me give an example. When was the last time you took a good look at a collection of photos, let's say from a holiday a
few years ago? Were you not able to re-live the emotions and memories,
maybe even smell the air and taste the food once again? Photos are
great for triggering all of that.

But realistically, how often do we
view those precious photos when they are sat on a laptop or hard drive
somewhere? I've heard it said many times from different
people that they are concerned over the fact that their computer could
crash or a drive fail. Why? Because they have "hundreds of photos on
there", and when asked "photos of what?" they either don't know or
aren't sure.

How does the album compare to digital?

The photographs I take for my clients, especially at
their wedding, are designed to capture their day, and I envision they
will become treasured memories for years to come. Digital photography is great, it means that I can capture lots of memories and provide a full story of the day's events. But the last thing I want
is for those photos to be forgotten on a CD or USB stick somewhere in
an old drawer or stored on a dusty hard drive sat on a desk in the study
or office. This is where the album comes in. Photography can move on
with its technological advances, and we photographers will fully utilise them, but I also think that the traditional hard copy photo
album is here to stay.

To actually have an album made of favourite images,
covered in fresh smelling real leather, is by far the best way to show
them off. Leave an album out on a table, and almost everyone will want
to look at it. There's also a sense of pride in getting an album out
for visitors to have a look at, a feeling that doesn't seem to be there
in booting up a laptop or tablet.

And from a photographer's point
of view, with the loving attention given to creating a book that is
designed to show the pictures off at their best, there is no better way
to view them.

Designed to last forever

There is nothing that can compare to the feel
of a photograph in the hand, including those in an album. We have all
experienced viewing a photo of a loved one that has stirred up deep
emotional feelings, maybe tears even, and we hug the photo or the book
as if it is the person themselves. Tablet computers or phones just
don't have the same feel, and you can't really hug a laptop!!

In
conclusion, for me, the traditional photo album cannot be replaced. Many wedding photographers these days seem content to just give away their
work on a CD which can contain hundreds of photographs that will be lost
into cyberspace. They may charge less, but are they really giving your photographs the care and attention that they deserve? A beautifully created album however, contains a choice selection of
memories which can truly be treasured forever.

Yes, I may be a traditionalist, but what's wrong with that?
